Thank you all, warriors, for your coordinated efforts!", Zelenskyy reports.
What has been hit?
According to Zelenskyy, the missile ship "Karakurt" was hit, as well as a patrol boat and another tanker from the shadow oil fleet.

I have agreed with the Security Service of Ukraine on additional, entirely justified responses to Russian strikes on our towns and villages. Russia can end this war of theirs at any moment.
